Yes, if there are no takers he will then in all likelihood be placed on unconditional waivers with the intention of being bought out. MG is trying to see if anyone will take him for free before the buyout. If not he will need to bite the bullet. I guess we will get to see if MG should have been able to trade him by the number of takers.

One thing I respect about Homer over in Philly, when he made the move to buy out Bryz he acknowledged a mistake had been made and moves were begin made to rectify that mistake. MG would gain a lot of brownie points if he did something similar.

I was firmly on the side that believed this was a good deal at the time and I am still shocked that Ballard never worked out her, never close to working out here.

Yeah as soon as we got Hamhuis, our left side d was locked up and Ballard never got a fair chance, I have no doubt on a team lacking top 4 d on the left side, he will rebound and have a great season. If any player needs a change a scenery other than Lu its Ballard.

But either way if he doesn't get claimed he will be forced to be bought out, and yes I would like MG to just come out and say the obvious that he is fixing some mistakes.

A long time ago, a baseball player remarked: "If I owned a ballclub, I'd hire a $5,000 coach and a $15,000 scout."
